People are quick to be pissed about paying taxes, but slow to say thanks when their tax returns come in the following year.
Yes, we have to pay taxes. If you want to go somewhere where you don’t have to pay taxes, feel free, your options are Antartica, or the small island of Brunei.
The IRS certainly doesn’t need your defense, Zack.
Yeah, the issue here is not that we have to pay taxes, we do and we should. But the way the system is designed, we are giving the government what amounts to an interest-free loan out of our paychecks until they give us the amount we overpaid back. Which has always been a questionable practice at best. So there’s really no reason to say thanks.
